THIS IS OUR STORY 


This is OUR STORY, the story of an 
American high school. And because it is 
the story of an American high school, the 
casual observer may tend to consider the 
narrative merely as the repetition of an oft- 
repeated theme. 


Such an attitude, however, would be a 
mistaken one, for it is OUR STORY — the 
story of our hopes and our dreams, our 
defeats and our disappointments — indeed, 
the story of our very lives. From the found¬ 
ers and first graduating class of Noll High 










School to those students yet unknown who 
will one day sit at these very desks, it is 
OUR STORY. The founders have begun the 
story; we have added this most recent chap¬ 
ter; those of the future will read it, profit 
by it, and write their own story. 

Each and everyone of us who is part and 
parcel of life here at Noll High will leave 
his mark, not only here in the school, but 
also in the world and in eternity, for we 

FACULTY 

Someone once said, "Youth needs a guiding hand." 
We at Noll High are no exception. One of the 
most helpful chapters of OUR STORY is found 
within the bonds of our Faculty who have labored 
to make us true Christian Americans. page 10 


ACTIVITIES 

OUR STORY continues through the leaves of a 
book and unfolds the many activities which have 
taught us to cooperate with others and have given 
us opportunities for leadership. Our Activities 
bring to light many pleasant memories of school 
life and provide some of the highlights of OUR 
STORY . page 70 


are the Christian Americans of tomorrow. 
What has done much to shape our lives 
into what they will be is important to our¬ 
selves, to the world, and to God. Thus it is 
that OUR STORY cannot be trite. 

As these pages unfold, the personae 
dramatis will move through the memories 
of the 1953-54 scholastic year and will 
dramatize OUR STORY. 


CLASSES 

The many hours of careful study, the pleasant 
hours of interesting activities, the thrill of a job 
well done -— these are the thoughts uppermost in 
our minds as we reminisce about the classmates 
who have played so important a part in OUR 
STORY . page 20 


ATHLETICS 

Participation in high school athletics brings to the 
fore the real sportsmanship and school spirit in 
high school students. These pages contain our 
sports, our teams, and our spirit. They form another 
chapter in OUR STORY. page 92 







BISHOP NOLL 


HIGH SCHOOL 


Every good thing has a humble begin¬ 
ning, and Bishop Noll High School, the 
main topic of OUR STORY is no exception. 
It began in 1921 in the temporary quarters 
of two class rooms at St. Mary's grade 
school in East Chicago. In 1922 the school 
moved to the present campus and into the 
famous "barracks" a five-room building 
covered with tar paper. In 1923 a building 
program was begun which has resulted in 
the present buildings on the campus. Bishop 
Noll High School began with a total enroll¬ 
ment of 40 students in 1921, and has grown 
to the present enrollment of 1341 students. 
With such modest beginnings and with 
such leaps and bounds, our school has con¬ 
tinued to the present day. 


The original faculty members of Catholic 
Central High School, as it was then called, 
were the Poor Handmaid Sisters of Jesus 
Christ, whose Motherhouse is located at 
Donaldson, Indiana. Today Noll High is 
staffed by seven priests, twenty-two Sisters 
of the Holy Cross, and ten lay men and 
women. 


Rev. P. J. Schmid was appointed Director 
of the school in 1923. Fr. Schmid is now 
acting as chaplain at St. Margaret's Hos¬ 
pital, Hammond. In 1934 he was succeeded 
by Father Conway, present pastor of St. 
Mary of the Lake, Miller. The present Prin¬ 
cipal, Rev. A. J. Junk, made his first appear¬ 
ance at Noll High as teacher and athletic 
director in 1933. In 1939 he began his 
career as Principal and has been serving the 
cause of Christian education during the 
twenty years of his priesthood. 



The subjects taught at Noll High are 
based on Catholic principles and are pre¬ 
sented from a Catholic point of view. They 
are imparted with an eye towards the future 
life and needs of each one of the students. 
The school sponsors a complete athletic 
program and a wide variety of activities of 
an extra-curricular nature.

Upon matriculation at Noll High, pros¬ 
pective students are given a battery of tests, 
the results of which prove helpful in de¬ 
termining the choice of a curriculum and 
in placing the student in classes which will 
satisfy his needs and talents. Noll High 
offers to its students four curriculas: the 
Classical, the Commercial, the Scientific, 
and the General. 


Bishop Noll High School has thus vastly 
expanded and improved since its inauspi¬ 
cious launching in the early "Roaring 
Twenties." However, those modest begin¬ 
nings were the necessary nucleus out of 
which has grown and developed the present 
institution.

The grotto, built by former students, is 
a hallowed spot, dear to the heart of every 
loyal Nollite. The entire student body joins 
annually in special devotions to Our Lady 
in October and in May. It is traditional 
for the football team to visit the grotto 
before and after every home game. Be¬ 
fore, during, and after every school day 
many students visit the Mother of Christ 
at the grotto to praise her, to tell her 
their troubles, and to obtain her powerful 
intercession.

CHURCH OF SAINT MARGARET MARY 


St. Margaret Mary Parish was organized 
in 1947 by the Rev. E. H. Klein, a former 
teacher at Noll High. At first a converted 
classroom was used for Mass, but in 1950 
ground was broken for a new church. The 
church, Norman French Gothic in style, 
was ready for occupancy in 1952. Each 
morning Mass is offered at an hour which 
enables students to attend Mass and re¬ 
ceive Holy Communion in this beautiful 
Church of St. Margaret Mary. Visits to 
the church during lunch period and after 
school also are a source of spiritual help 
for Noll High students.

THIS IS OUR STORY . . . 


To the Faculty of Bishop Noll High School 
we owe a great debt of gratitude. These priests, 
sisters, and lay people who give their time and 
talents so willingly and so fully to educate us 
are the individuals who make Noll High what 
it is. 

They have shown us the wealth and beauty 
of learning and have prepared us for battles 
with the adversaries of life by furnishing us 
with the armor of truth, our Christian Faith. 


Noll High offers its students various types 
of curricula in its plan of education. These 
curricula satisfy the needs of several goals 
and professions. Besides supplying the require¬ 
ments of the state of Indiana for high school 
graduation, Noll High School is prepared to 
teach the courses necessary and useful for 
entrance into the various fields of college and 
university work. 


For students wishing to enter the fields of 
law, medicine, nursing, teaching, the priest¬ 
hood, and similarly related fields, the Classical 
Curriculum is recommended. Those wishing to 
be engineers, mechanics, mathematicians, or 
scientists will find the Scientific Curriculum 
well suited to their needs. 

The Commercial Curriculum, which offers 
typing, shorthand, bookkeeping, secretarial 
training, and related subjects, prepares the 
individual for stenographic, secretarial, and 
clerical positions. The General Curriculum is 
designed for the student who plans to termin¬ 
ate his formal education with high school. 
This curriculum will prepare him for a Chris¬ 
tian democratic way of life. 


The guiding hand which we, today's youths 
and tomorrow's citizens, need, is found in this 
chapter without which OUR STORY would be 
incomplete. May God grant that OUR STORY 
in the future will be a creditable reflection of 
the Christian principles our Faculty has im¬ 
parted to us.

FATHERS’ CLUB 


One of the main supporters of Noll 
High's athletic program is the Fath¬ 
ers' Club. This group of fathers of 
students, alumni, and other men in¬ 
terested in Catholic education and 
in Noll High takes an active part in 
many school functions. 

Before school began last fall the 
Fathers' Club sponsored an inter¬ 
squad exhibition football game of the 
Chicago Bears. The Club was also in¬ 
strumental in building the permanent 
ticket booths on the football field. 

During the scholastic year the 
Fathers' Club provided most of the 
transportation for the Warriors when 
they played away from home. At 
home games members of the Club 
acted as ticket-takers and ushers at 
the Civic Center and on the gridiron. 

The Fathers' Club organized the 
Blue and Gold Club, which is an or¬ 
ganization devoted to Catholic edu¬ 
cational activities. They held a smok¬ 
er in the fall and spring for their own 
members and, finally, together with 
the Mothers' Club, presented Noll 
High's athletes with the annual Ath¬ 
letic Banquet.

MOTHERS’ CLUB 


The Bishop Noll Mothers' Club,

women interested in Bishop Noll 
High School. Their object is the pro¬ 
motion of a better understanding of 
the work of the school in Lake 
County. 

Each year the Mothers' Club holds 
a Spring Luncheon for all members. 
The Junior mothers also serve break¬ 
fast for the graduates and their par¬ 
ents after the Baccalaureate Mass. 

Last October the Mothers' Club 
presented a fashion show and card 
party at which were featured fash¬ 
ions from two leading stores of Ham¬ 
mond. In November the combined 
Mothers' and Fathers' Clubs ar¬ 
ranged a reception for Fr. Junk on 
the occasion of his twentieth anni¬ 
versary of service with the school. In 
January they entertained the Sisters 
of the Faculty with a shower. The 
annual bazaar and Athletic Banquet 
are also projects in which the organ¬ 
ization takes an active part.

THIS IS OUR STORY . . . 


OUR STORY began four years ago when, 
as timorous and reticent frosh, we, the gradu¬ 
ates of '54, set out on the well-worn path of 
high school life. That first year saw the be¬ 
ginning of the Dramatic Club under the direc¬ 
tion of a new faculty member, Miss Salon. 
The many hours we spent in the careful study 
of dramatics and the stage were the first taste 
of the extra-curricular program we enjoyed. 


In our sophomore year we came to exper¬ 
ience the pleasant hours of social activities 
in such events as the Homecoming dance and 
the Winter Formal. We were no longer the 
youngest in school, and we found our class 
well represented in the school clubs. 



Junior year brought with it the dignified 
distinction of "upperclassmen." This year 
brought one addition after another to OUR 
STORY: first, our own choral group directed 
by Sister Mary Edith, C.S.C.; then a church 
dedicated to St. Margaret Mary on our own 
campus; the formation of the S.D.S. by our 
own junior girls. 


Senior year! The first of these pages was 
a tale of sorrow, for in November we heard 
of the tragic death of an alumnus, Walter 
Homan, whom many of us had known in our 
junior year. Later, in December, came news 
of another classmate whom God had called, 
Gerald Bolch. In a happier vein, our operetta, 
"Amahl and the Night Visitors", was pre¬ 
sented in December along with a program of 
Christmas carols. The year moved so fast, 
and soon the thrill of graduation was upon 
us — our senior pictures; then the yearbook 
sketches; finally, in a rush of excitement and 
the thrill of a job well done, graduation. This, 
then, is OUR STORY.

SENIORS ELECT CLASS OFFICERS 

Early in the scholastic year the election of class officers is held in every 
home room. Each Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior home room elects four 
officers: president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer. These officers 
act as the leaders of their respective home rooms. 

The Senior Class deviates slightly from the general procedure followed 
by the other three classes. In place of a president in each home room, the 
Seniors elect one representative who acts as president of the entire class. 
He has, as his assistants, a vice-president, secretary, and treasurer in each 
Senior home room. 



SENIORS ELECT ROBAK 


This year the Senior Class chose Ray Robak 
as Class President. Ray is a member of St. 
Casimir's Parish, Hammond, and attended St. 
Casimir's grade school before coming to Noll 
High. Here his pleasing personality and foot¬ 
ball prowess soon gained for him wide popu¬ 
larity. This year Ray was also co-captain of 
the football team. Ray plans to continue his 
education in the fall at Wabash College. 



Senior Officers 


Vice-Presidents of the Senior Home Rooms are Gloria Conway, 
Senior 1; John King, Senior 2; Bernie Wontorek, Senior 3; Ray 
Knight, Senior 4; Robert Stupeck, Senior 5; and Nada Stilinovich, 
Senior 6. 











Senior Officers 


Evelyn Gesmond, Leone Zbikowski, Mary Esther Matthews, and 
Mary Mulflur were elected as the Secretaries of their respective 
Senior Home Rooms, 


Senior Officers 


Treasurers of Senior Home Rooms are Jule Bell, Tom Gozdecki, 
Dave Mayer, and Dick Laskody. 














CO-VALEDICTORIANS OF ’54 NAMED 


J. CENGEL AND V. MAKOWSKI 
TIE FOR TOP AWARDS 


Customarily the honors of Valedictorian 
and Salutatorian go to the senior boy and girl 
who rank highest scholastically in their class. 
This year, however, a very unusual coincident 
occurred. Each of the two top ranking seniors 
of the 1954 Graduating Class earned exactly 
the same number of honor points and merited 


for themselves the outstanding honors of Co- 
Valedictorians. John Cengel and Vivian Ma- 
kowski ranked highest scholastically among 
the Class of '54 and are the Class Co-Valedic- 
torians. These are the highest scholastic 
awards that can be conferred on any student. 



VIVIAN MAKOWSKI is a friendly girl who not only 
gained recognition in her classes through her keen 
intilligence, but also found many lasting friends at 
school through her pleasant personality. She is from 
St. Stanislaus Parish in East Chicago, where she also 
attended grade school. Her outstanding scholastic 
record during her four years at Noll High has won 
for her the title of Co-Valedictorian of the Class of 
'54. In the fall Miss Makowski plans to continue her 
formal education, and she will matriculate at St. 
Francis College, Joliet, Illinois. 


JOHN CENGEL is a member of St. John the Baptist 
Parish in Whiting. After achieving success at that 
grade school, he came to Noll High on a scholarship 
and continued his climb to the top of the intellectual 
ladder to be named one of the Co-Valedictorians of 
his class. His quiet, unassuming nature and out¬ 
standing character have gained for him many friends 
among both students and Faculty. His interest and 
application in the classroom, as well as in all his 
other activities, are indications of great success in 
later life. Mr. Cengel's plans for the "immediate 
future include a college education with pharmacy 
as his major. 




Honor Students 


National History Contest 

The month of October brought a round of 
various actiivties to the students this year. 
Among them was the all-school History Con¬ 
test sponsored by the Chicago Herald Amer¬ 
ican. After spending a few days of brushing 
up on their knowledge of American History, 
seven Seniors had a chance to display their 
talents by participating in the preliminary ex¬ 
amination here at Noll High. This was to 
determine who would represent the school in 
the finals. By the unanimous vote of the His¬ 
tory teachers, Leone Zbikowski was chosen to 
be Bishop Nol's representative on December 
1st. Leone competed in the final exam held at 
Washburn Trade School, Chicago. She faced 
tough competition from 150 schools in and 
around Chicago-land. Bishop Noll High School 
is justly proud of Leone Zbikowski for she 
represented the school in the annual contest. 



Leone Zbikowski represented Noll High at the 
National History Contest in Chicago.

JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM HELD MAY 21 



One of the traditional and most 
thrilling social events of the year and 
of high school experience is the Jun¬ 
ior-Senior Promenade. Dates are 
made weeks and months in advance, 
and a great deal of secrecy pervades 
the atmosphere as the Juniors plan 
the biggest dance of the year as a 
parting tribute to the Seniors. The 
long anticipated evening became a 


reality on May 21 when, after much 
planning and hard work, the high 
school gym assumed the proportions 
of a beautiful ballroom. The girls, 
lovely in their pastel gowns and cor¬ 
sages, and the fellows in their formal 
attire completed the scene. It was a 
grand evening and will long be re¬ 
membered by all promenaders.

Graduating Class receives Holy Communion at Baccalaureate Mass at St. Joseph's, Hammond. 


Formal ceremonies of the 1954 Graduation 
began June 3 with the Baccalaureate Solemn High 
Mass at St. Joseph's Church, Hammond. Priests 
of the Faculty served as the ministers of the Mass 
and Noll's male choir, supplemented by the boys' 
choir of St. Mark's Parish, Gary, sang the Mass. 
In the sermon the Seniors were again reminded 
that it is their personal responsibility to live the 
Catholic principles they have learned while attend¬ 
ing Bishop Noll High School and that they will be 
the examples of Catholic education. 

It was an impressive sight to view the Seniors, 
attired in academic cap and gown, kneel side by 
side to receive Holy Communion as they prepared 
to leave high school. Breakfast was served to them 
and their parents by the Junior mothers at the 
school gym after the Mass.

Annual Commencement Exercises of Bishop 
Noll High school were held Sunday evening, 
June 6, at the Hammond Civic Center. Par¬ 
ents, relatives, and friends watched intently 
from the galleries as the Seniors, in academic 
dress, and the Faculty slowly filed into the 
auditorium to the familiar strains of Pomp 
and Circumstance. 

The program included the Valedictory and 
Salutatory addresses delivered by the boy and 


girl who ranked highest scholastically in the 
class. After the Commencement address by 
the guest speaker, the Rev. A. J. Junk, Princi¬ 
pal, made the various awards, granted scholar¬ 
ships which were merited by certain individ¬ 
uals, and finally conferred high school diplom¬ 
as on all the Seniors who then formally became 
the 1954 Graduates and Alumni of Bishop 
Noll High School. 


Scene is set for 1 954 Commencement Exercises and the Seniors are about to become Aiumni.

UNDERCLASSMEN 






THIS IS OUR STORY . . . 


OUR STORY would not be complete and 
true if it created the impression that all de¬ 
pended upon and centered around the depart¬ 
ing seniors. The majority of the students, next 
year's leaders and the next year's followers, 
also find their places in OUR STORY. 


This has been the first year for many stu¬ 
dents, an introduction to the gay, free years 
of high school life. No doubt they found the 
life strange and intricate in the beginning. 
But as the year progressed, they fitted them¬ 
selves into the pattern of high school days and 
found a new "sense of belonging" that will 
last until they themselves are the queens and 
kings of Noll High. 



To other students this year has brought the 
first experience of responsibility and leader¬ 
ship. Such students have learned what can be 
accomplished through cooperation and have 
developed a desire to lead others to that dis¬ 
covery. They have learned of the enjoyment 
that can be theirs by participation in the 
school's many social and athletic activities. 
New classes and new subjects have opened 
wider fields for their investigation and talents. 
New friends and new interests have cast their 
impressions in the minds and lives of the Cath¬ 
olic youth of Noll High — impressions never 
to be lost. 


These students < the juniors, sophomores, 
and freshmen, look ahead to their own senior 
year and it seems like such a distant reality. 
Their spirit and energy, however, will carry 
them through to that final goal in the course 
of time so that all of them will finally stand 
as seniors and will add their own chapters 
to OUR STORY.

THIS IS OUR STORY . . . 


Noll High students believe in the adage, 
"All work and no play makes Johnny a dull 
boy." Living proof of this is offered in the form 
of clubs, societies, dances, and parties. 

The Nollite can find any number of ways, 
profitable both to himself and to the school, 
to expand his talents and satisfy his interests. 
Indeed, all sorts of talents are represented in 
Noll's Activity program. 


The school's governing body calls out the 
born politician and intrigues him with elec¬ 
tions and offices. Students find a scholastic 
uplift in the various honorary societies which 
encourage further study in various fields. 
Writers and would-be writers find ample op¬ 
portunity to try their hand at journalism in 
many sources. The part-time artists finds a 
haven in school publicity. The future actor 
has no difficulty in finding his way into the 
world of dramatics. 


For those who wish to serve their Creator 
and their fellowmen more abundantly, there 
are mission groups and other groups which 
foster the true Catholic spirit of Christian 
charity and service. 

Noll fans find an outlet for their enthusiasm 
both in work and in cheering. There are many 
ways in which one can back the team, for the 
loyal fan in the stands participates in the 
game in a very real sense. 


Some of the most memorable hours of 
school life are to be found in the activities 
and projects of these clubs, in planning and 
in executing ideas — ideas that range from 
profound discussions to light-hearted dancing. 

We proudly present the highlights of OUR 
STORY. We hope that the memories of our 
success will encourage future Nollites to un¬ 
dertake similar projects which lead to such 
wonderful and profitable times and exper¬ 
iences.

STUDENT COUNCIL 



Fr. Junk, Sponsor, explains the intricacies of the 
public address system to Mary Catherine Blake 
and Pete Cergizan, President and Vice-President 
of the Student Council. Mary Catherine and Pete 
lead the student body in the daily Angelus and 
make the daily announcements over the P.A. 


Sponsored by Father Junk, Principal, the 
Student Council forms the student body's gov¬ 
ernment here at Noll. This organization pro¬ 
motes a more unified feeling between the 
students and the faculty. All suggestions of 
the student body are brought before the Stu¬ 
dent Council for consideration and action. 

This year, the Student Council, together 
with the monitors, initiated a locker inspection 
in a drive to have all lockers locked at all 
times. 

Another project of the Student Council 
was the aid given in the cafeteria to relieve 
the congestion and help maintain proper order 
and neatness. 

The annual winter formal, “December 
Dream" was held in Noll's gym, on the 29th 
of December. Mary Kay Blake and Peter 
Cergizan, Student Council's president and 
vice-president, were co-chairmen of the gala 
affair.

The Marynoll Chapter of the National 
Honor Society was established at Noll High 
School in 1948. The purpose of the Society is 
to promote scholarship, leadership, character, 
and service. Membership in the society is 
elective and is based on these four qualities. 

Each year the Honor Society awards to a 
freshman a cumulative scholarship based on 
the results of a competitive examination. The 
Society sponsors two dances to finance this 
scholarship. Another aim of the Society is that 
proper parliamentary procedure be followed 
in all class meetings and elections. An open 
meeting was held in November for the entire 
student body to provide this instruction as well 
as to induct the new members of the Society. 

The Monitor System is also under the spon¬ 
sorship of the National Honor Society. In con¬ 
junction with the Student Council, the Society 

Officers of the National Honor Society are Ruth 
Sedlak, Secretary; Bob Schreiner, Treasurer; Tom 
Gozdecki, Vice-President; and Nora Lee Hebard, 
Treasurer. 


inaugurated daily and hourly inspection of 
student lockers to see that they were locked 
at all times. Offenders were always penalized. 
Regular monthly meetings of the Monitors 
have helped to check disorders and make 
necessary adjustments. 

Sister Marie Celine, Dean of Girls and 
Assistant Principal, acts as the Faculty Mod¬ 
erator of the National Honor Society.

classes present a demonstration connected

C. S. M. C. 



Sparked by Sister M. Ivan, the Catholic Stu¬ 
dents Mission Crusade, our mission organiza¬ 
tion, builds its projects around prayer, alms¬ 
giving, and study. The objective of the society 
is to promote interest in, and aid for, the home 
and foreign missions. 

Besides the regular weekly mission contri¬ 
butions and annual drives, two special drives 
were conducted this year. One was for Father 
Tom Zimmerman, a Noll alumnus presently

High students attained first place among all

semester and which study specific mission 
areas, their work, and their needs.

JUNIOR RED CROSS 



President Monica Homolla, vice-president Tim 
Galvin, treasurer Joe Gartner, and secretary Claire 
Sofianos supervise the packing of Red Cross boxes 
for shipment to students overseas. 


The Junior Red Cross of Noll High has 
become one of the outstanding Councils of the 
Hammond Chapter. The Council is under the 
direction of Sister M. Andrew. 

Each year the Red Cross sponsors one of 
the school dances and an annual drive to 
finance gift boxes for needy children in for¬ 
eign lands. Last fall they shipped overseas 
over one hundred gift boxes filled with toys 
and school necessities. At Christmas time they 
prepared favors and Christmas candies to dec¬ 
orate the trays of the patients at St. Anne's 
Home, and this undoubtedly brought a little 
cheer and happiness into the life and hearts 
of these people.

Also, the C.S.M.C. used much of their artistic 
talent and work in the Mission drive. 



Officers of the Prop & Pub prepare publicity ma¬

DRAMATICS CLUB 


The Dramatics Club, under the direction of 
Miss Joan Salon, presented as their annual play 
Moss Hart's and George Kaufman's YOU CAN'T 
TAKE IT WITH YOU at the Whiting Community 
Center near the end of March. This 1937 Pultizer 
Prize winner is a zaney comedy about the Syca¬ 
more family who go about their clowning, work, 
hobbies, joys, and worries without the least inhibi¬ 


tions. After a night in jail, the family quiets down 
for a minute — but only for a minute. A touch of 
romance is also thrown in for good measure. 
Though a hilarious lot, the Sycamore family in¬ 
deed seems far more sane during the play than 
many of us who go about our daily tasks with our 
personal foibles and struggle after the almighty 
dollar.

The Booster Club shows more high spirit 
and zeal than any other group on campus. 
Led by Miss Herod, and aided by the Cheer¬ 
leaders, the Booster Club inspires real spirit 
for the home football and basketball games. 
Though membership is limited to seniors, it 
would not be fair to the underclassmen to deny 
their aid in the cheering sections at our games. 

The Booster Club helps plan pep sessions 
for the school. It aids the Cheerleaders in the 
homecoming program, selling mums, decorat¬ 
ing cars, preparing the bonfire, skits and re¬ 
freshments for the homecoming celebrations. 
Its main project, perhaps, each year, is the 
pre-sectional pep session, which is always 
loaded with spirit.

The Journalism Club, under the direction 
of Sister M. Victorine, is a group of Junior 
girls who wish to develop and exploit an in¬ 
terest in writing. The main project annually 
of this group is the publication of the "Senior 
Sketches." The work on this book is begun 
early in the school year, for a great deal of 
time and effort is required to interview each 
Senior and then organize and compile the 
material for publication. Most of the members 
attended the National Catholic Press Confer¬ 
ence in Milwaukee at the end of October at 
which they received many pointers which 
proved helpful in the preparation of the "Sen¬ 
ior Sketches."

MARQUETTE STAFF 


OUR STORY, the 1954 Marquette, was 
begun last June, when the co-editors, Pete 
Cergizan and Judy Mertz, and the staff mem¬ 
bers were appointed. 

During the summer, Father Seimetz, fac¬ 
ulty advisor, held a meeting with the co-editors 
and assistant editors to select a theme and 
begin the work. In the early fall, the publisher 
was chosen, the various details of the book 
worked out, and actual work was underway. 
For several months, the staff worked, in school 
and out of school, taking pictures, soliciting 
advertisements, planning layouts, and writing 
and typing. Completed pages were then sent 
to the printers. 

The completed book is a record of the cur¬ 
rent year at Bishop Noll High School for all 
the students, and a remembrance of OUR 
STORY for the Seniors. 



Organization and arrangement must be brought 
out of the chaos and confusion of paper cutters, 
rubber cement, pictures, and copy for the year¬ 
book. Pete Cergizon and Judy Mertz, co-editors 
of the 1954 MARQUETTE, and Fr. Seimetz, Fac¬ 
ulty Adviser, are shown preparing dummy pages 
for the printer.

MUSIC 


Rev. Ferd Melevage 

Father Melevage is a prominent figure at 
school, not only because he is the Dean of 
Boys, but also because he is a teacher of 
history and Religion, and the director of the 
Music Department. Noll students turn to 
Father Melevage for much advice and direc¬ 
tion and he is always happy to help them. This 
is one of the many reasons why Father has 
endeared himself in the hearts of Noll stu¬ 
dents. As head of the Music Department, he 
has established an enviable reputation for the 
Department through the operetta and spring 
concert and other public appearances of the 
Choral groups. 



SISTER M. EDITH, C.S.C. 



Sister M. Edith, C.S.C., has directed the 
Junior Choral Club for the past two years. 
An able assistant to Father Melevage in stag¬ 
ing the annual operetta, Sister also teaches 
English. With her ability to aid them, the stu¬ 
dents of the Junior Choral are doing wonder¬ 
ful work. 


MR. JOHN MOONEY 


Mr. John Mooney is a new addition to 
Noll's faculty. He is an accomplished violinist 
and also a composer. Mr. Mooney is doing an 
excellent job in organizing and directing our 
new school band and orchestra.

BAND AND ORCHESTRA 


An entirely new musical organization, of 
which Noll High is very proud, is a fifty-piece 
band and orchestra. It was most difficult to 
start from the very beginning, but Mr. John 
Mooney, a new music teacher at Noll, suc¬ 
ceeded in one year in organizing and training 
the fifty young musicians, and in preparing 


them for their first public performances in a 
parade and in the annual spring concert. 

The new uniforms, too, enhance the ap¬ 
pearance of Noll High's newest music organ¬ 
ization, and loyal Nollites look to the new 
band and orchestra with great expectation.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT PRESENTS NEW OPERETTA 

AMAHL AND THE NIGHT VISITORS WELL RECEIVED BY AUDIENCE 


On Dec. 24, 1951, Gian 
Carlo Minotti's new and 
beautiful opera, Amahl 
and the Night Visitors, 
made its public debut. 

At once it was well re¬ 
ceived and by 1952 it 
was already included in 
the repertoire of the 
Metropolitan Opera Com¬ 
pany. It is now regularly 
featured on both radio 
and television during the 
Christmas season. Al¬ 
though still very new, this 
beautiful Christmas story 
has gained tremendous 
popularity and even 
threatens to become more 
in demand than Dickens' 

Christinas Carol. 

The story of the opera 
is immediately appreci¬ 
ated by all audiences. It 
centers about the desti¬ 
tute and crippled shep¬ 
herd boy, Amahl, and his 
mother. Because of his 
love and generosity to¬ 
ward the Christ Child, 

Amahl is cured miracu¬ 
lously in the presence of Leading roles in the opera were sung by John 

the three Kings who Clune as Amahl and Patricia Lush as his mother. 



sought shelter with him 
and his mother. Amahl 
then persuades his moth¬ 
er to allow him to ac¬ 
company the Kings on 
their visit to Bethlehem. 

The Choral Groups of 
Bishop Noll High School 
were the first high school 
groups ever to present 
this opera. On Dec. 11, 
12, and 13 the Whiting 
Community Center held 
many a curious and inter¬ 
ested patron. The cast 
was brilliant in each of 
the three performances 
and soon transformed the 
skeptic onlookers into ex¬ 
tremely responsive and 
enthusiastic audiences. 

Preliminary to the op¬ 
era itself, both the Senior 
and Junior Choral Clubs 
presented a program of 
Christmas songs which 
set a proper mood for the 
opera. The entire pro¬ 
gram was most enjoyable 
and gave convincing evi¬ 
dence of many hours of 
practice and hard work.

ATHLETICS 



92 







THIS IS OUR STORY . . . 


Athletics play a great part in OUR STORY, 
though they do not supercede the importance 
of other pursuits. Sports at Noll High have 
written another chapter for this book. They 
provide many experiences of thrilling activity 
and tense emotions for the athletes themselves 
and for the fans of Warrior teams. 


In the fall of the year football permeates 
the air and excites everyone with the record 
of games. What a thrill to win! Such a disap¬ 
pointment to lose! But always another game 
to play for Noll. 


Fast on the heels of football comes the 
basketball season, a Hoosier specialty, with 
its festive air of holiday tourneys and its 
strained moments of State tourneys. Hoarse 
voices are heard and excited faces are seen 
in the cheering section of Noll High as the 
Warriors engage in the combat. 

Later, in spring, baseball, track, and golf 
come to the fore. Competition with regional 
schools sparks the latter weeks of school. 


Nollites who participate in these sports 
learn the importance of cooperation, team 
work, and true sportsmanship. The loyal fans 
who support the Warriors give evidence of a 
healthy school spirit. The varied athletic pro¬ 
gram gives every student an opportunity to 
participate in his favorite sport either by way 
of active participation or in the role of spec¬ 
tator, and the Noll High Warriors in action 
always present a formidable foe for the 
opponent. 

93 




REV. A. J. ZIMMERMAN 

As Priest-Advisor of all athletics, Fr. Zimmerman is 
one of the busiest faculty members at Noll High. It 
is through his efforts that the Warriors always have 
worthy and formidable opponents on their schedule. 
Athletic publicity and tickets are other details which 
he supervises. Also in the athletic field and under 
Father's wing are the annual grade school tourna¬ 
ments in football and basketball. 


KARL HUFFINE 

Athletic Director and head football coach are the 
roles Mr. Huffine admirably fills. As Athletic Di¬ 
rector, he is Fr. Zimmerman's right-hand man in all 
athletic matters. Coach Huffine has just completed 
five years of coaching at Noll and has brought the 
Warriors state-wide recognition in football. Strictly 
a part of Coach's constant equipment are his famous 
cigar stubs and his hat. 


JAMES BUCKLEY 

Mr, Buckley coaches the line in football and is head 
baseball coach. Respected and admired by every Noll 
athlete, he is responsible in great measure for Noll's 
"never-say-die" spirit and is a constant fire under 
Noll's school spirit. Coach Buckley's baseball teams 
are always a bright spot in Noll's sports program. He 
is also faculty sponsor of the Monogram Club. 


94 










EDGAR HUDSON 

Head basketball coach is the distinction held by Coach 
Hudson. His is a big job, for basketball is the rage of 
almost every Hoosier high school and competition is 
keen. Mr. Hudson was a star in the sport during his 
college days and his coaching efforts at Noll have 
been rewarded with teams that are always near the 
top.. 


JOHN DERMODY 

Mr. Dermody is one of the two new additions to Noll's 
coaching staff of this year. He is a Noll alumnus him¬ 
self and a former basketball star of Purdue University. 
He is assistant coach in football and basketball, and 
all Warriors hope he has a long and successful career 
at Noll High. 


GEORGE DUNLEAVY 

Mr. Dunleavy is the other new face on the athletic 
staff at Noll High. Also an alumnus of Noll, Mr. 
Dunleavy attended Kansas State Teachers' College 
after he completed his years of service to Uncle Sam. 
He coaches freshmen football and basketball as well 
as varsity track. 






Cheerleaders 


At football and basketball games 
alike, Noll High has one of the loudest 
and best cheering sections in the Cal¬ 
umet region. School spirit, however, 
does not just happen, and a major con¬ 
tributing unit to this spirit is Noll's 
group of vigorous and peppy cheer¬ 
leaders under the direction of Miss 
Herod. 

This year's varsity cheerleaders were 
Carol Schneider, captain, Evelyn Ges- 


mond, Lorrie Wohadlo, and Mickie 
Lewandowski. The reserves were Elaine 
Shestak and a set of sparkling twins, 
Jayne and Joan Knoerzer. Without 
their pep sessions previous to games 
and their direction and leadership of 
the student body in cheering at games, 
Warrior teams would never do as well 
as they have done and Noll High would 
not be known as ''the school with the 
spirit." 




The Senior Cheerleaders are Mickie Lewandowski, Carol Schneider, 
Evelyn Gesmond, and Lorraine Wohadlo. 


The Junior Cheerleaders are Jo 
Shestak, and Jayne Knoerzer.

STUDENT 

All too often it is simply taken for granted 
that it just happens that the various teams 
appear equipped and uniformed automatically 
and that such matters take care of themselves. 
Seldom a thought is given to the unsung heroes 
behind the scenes who care for and issue such 
equipment previous to games and are there to 
receive it when the players have finished the 
game and the fans have gone home. The men 
behind the scenes long before and after sched¬ 
uled games and daily practice are the student 
athletic managers who tend to the needs of the 
players. It is rare that they receive the credit 
that is justly due them. Student managers for 
the Warriors are: 

Tom Gozdecki 

and Varsity Football 

Dan O'Keefe.and Basketball 

Martin Downey and 

Ray Schmelzer.Track 

Jack Juscik.Basketball

Sept. 25 Noll 7 Evansville Memorial 7 

Noll ventured south to meet a seasoned Evansville Memorial 
team. Noll started the scoring with a 15 yard touchdown pass 
from Hughes to Loneski. Later in the game Evansville scored 
and the game settled down to tough defensive football on 
both sides. 


Sept. 11—Noll 0 South Bend Washington 13 

In the first game of the season Noll played host to 
Washington of South Bend, and the opponent went 
home with a 13 point decision to their credit. All- 
State fullback Joe Brazin scored both touchdowns 
for Washington. Noll came back in the second half 
and held the highly favored Washington team 
scoreless. 


Sept. 18—Noll 38 Chicago Roosevelt 0 

Noll played host to Chicago Roosevelt and sent them 
home with high regard for Noll's football prowess. 
Noll's scoring started early in the game when Fred 
Halon ran 65 yards on the first play of the game. 
Halon also ran 45 yards for another touchdown later 
in the game. Passes from Kapuscinski to Bielefeld 
and from Hughes to Michalak add two more tallies. 
Gardner's run of 43 yards and Reffkin's plunge ac¬ 
counted for the further scoring.

Oct. 2—Noll 6 Louisville Flaget 26 

The Warroirs fought a hard but losing battle against the fine 
Flaget team which revenged their two defeats by Noll in previous 
seasons. Noll's score came early from a plunge by Bielefeld; but 
Flaget, relying on their fine running ability, was never pressed. 






Oct. 26—Noll 32 Mormion Military 
Academy 6 

Noll rolled over Marmion and just 
about everybody scored. Noll was 
winning 6-0 ot the half and came 
back with four more touchdowns after 
the intermission. Kapuscinski went 
over from the three-yard line for the 
first touchdown and passed for three 
others: one each to Michalak, Lone- 
ski, and Graney. Reffkin also ran 75 
yards for a touchdown. It wat a fitting 
end for Noll's last home game and 
its Homecoming. 


Nov. 6—Noll 13 Indianapolis Cathedral 27 

Noll went to Indianapolis and lost its last game 
of the season by a misleading margin. The 
score was tied at the half, due mainly to 
Loneski's ability in pass catching. Then 
Cathedral broke loose for two quick touchdowns 
to put an end to the scoring. Kapuscinski's two 
touchdown passes to Loneski were Noll's only 


Oct. 9—Noll 26 Terre Haute Gerstmeyer 15 

Noll again went south and this time returned victoriously. Although 
losing at the half due to a safety, Noll returned after the intermission 
to score two touchdowns and held Gerstmeyer scoreless. Reffkin, Halon, 
and Bielefeld scord on the ground and Kapuscinski took to the air with 
a pass to Loneski for a score. 


Oct. 16—Noll 37 Gary Roosevelt 14 

Noll overcame Roosevelt's opening play for 75 yards and decisively 
defeated the Gary squad. Noll's star in this game was Loneski who 
scored four touchdowns: one on a blocked punt, two by passes from 
Kapuscinski, and one by a pass from Hughes. Gardner and Bedoy also 
scored for the Warriors.

Cafeteria Staff 



Mrs. Pictor, Mrs. Dienes, and Mrs. Diestler cheerfully prepare and serve the meals each day 
in the school cafeteria. The four daily cafeteria shifts are very demanding on these ladies, but 
they are always on time with wholesome food and do an admirable job. 


The school maintains a cafeteria in the gym building for the convenience of 
the students during their lunch periods. Hot plate lunches and other snacks 
are available to them at practically cost. The large student enrollment 
necessitates two cafeteria shifts during each of the lunch periods so that 
the cafeteria is really not the proper place to enjoy a leisurely meal. However, 
lunch period is eagerly anticipated by all students in order to refresh the 
inner man with the food prepared by the ladies.

Each morning when the students come to school, the halls and class¬ 
rooms are neatly swept and clean. That broken chair that “accidently fell 
apart" the other day is now fixed and the locker that jammed, is now as good 
as new. All year 'round the buildings must be kept at a comfortable temper¬ 
ature. In the spring, summer, and fall the grounds must always be kept up 
and the winter snow must always be shoveled away. These are just a few of 
the many things that go on all year long. Mr. Strickland and his cohorts are 
responsible for the hard job of taking care of the school, for they are Noll's 
maintenance crew, the men behind the scenes who continually do a grand job.

HOMECOMING ON OCTOBER 24 


PARADE, BONFIRE, VICTORY AND DANCE MARK GALA EVENT 



There were cars galore as the Homecoming Royalty, the Football Players and the Cheerleaders 
led the parade through Hammond and East Chicago. 


Noll's Homecoming, held on Oct. 24, was 
indeed one of the biggest and best ever. The 
festivities began with a huge bonfire on Oct. 
23, the night before the game. Actual plan¬ 
ning of the celebration, however, had its be¬ 
ginning several weeks previously. The Booster 
Club with the help and cooperation of the 


entire student body had been developing ideas 
for this week-end since early in September. 
The bonfire was held, as usual, on the baseball 
diamond with cheers penetrating throughout 
the crowd. Refreshments were served by mem¬ 
bers of the Homecoming Committee, and this 
idea was a huge success, due largely to the 



A highlight of the Homecoming 
dance was when Co-Captain Bob 
Stupeck crowned Mary Catherine 
Blake as Homecoming Queen 
while her attendants, Nada Sti I - 
inovich and Dolores Ortosky, Co- 
Captain Ray Robak and Ed “Mr. 
Touchdown" Gardner look on. 


The effigy of Marmion Military Academy 
is thrown into the bonfire by the football 
players on the eve of Homecoming. 





The "Mexican Hat Dance" was 
also popular at the Homecoming 
dance. 


The success and enjoyment of 
the Homecoming was due main¬ 
ly to the Homecoming Commit¬ 
tee: Carol Moles, Mary Mulflur, 
Carole Knapp, Stephanie Simon, 
Donna Orr, Jerry Hoess, Mary 
Catherine Blake, Larry Yednak, 
Bob Schreiner, Miss Herod, Mary 
Ann Racich, Millie Overack, 
Patti Rogan, and Pat Lush. 


unusually warm weather at the time. A par¬ 
ade, led by the Homecoming Queen, Mary 
Catherine Blake, and her attendants, Dolores 
Ortosky and Nada Stilinovich, circled through 
Hammond and East Chicago under police 
escort. Back on the campus after the parade, 
the bonfire, speeches, skits, and more cheers 
topped off the night. 

At the game on the following night, Oct. 
24, the Homecoming spirit captured everyone. 
An excited crowd of students and alumni 
cheered the Warriors on to a decisive victory 


over Marmion Military Academy. The same 
gala spirit of Homecoming prevailed at the 
"Touchdown Twirl" Homecoming dance after 
the game. Mr. Touchdown, in the person of 
Ed Gardener, was on hand to see Queen Mary 
Catherine Blake crowned, after which she led 
the Grand March. The spirited rally on Home¬ 
coming eve, the victory in the game, the so¬ 
ciability at the dance — all these added up 
to a perfect Homecoming for the alumni and 
students of Noll High. 


Students and Alumni enjoy dan¬ 
cing at the "Touchdown Twirl" 
after the game.

convention in the cosmopolitan city proved enjoyable and educational, and 
both the Journalism Club and the Marquette Staff benefited. The conven¬ 
tion scheduled several general sessions at which outstanding Catholic press 
men and women were the main speakers. There were also numerous sectional 
meetings with more specialized aims. 

The girls also enjoyed a tour of Marquette University in Milwaukee and 
had an opportunity to meet a number of former Noll students now attending 
the University.

WINTER FORMAL HELD DECEMBER 29 



The school gym was transformed into a 
"dreamland" of Christmas trees and imagin¬ 
ary snow and ice on Dec. 29th for the annual 
Winter Formal Dance. Traditionally held be¬ 
tween Christmas and New Years, the Winter 
Formal is thoroughly enjoyed by the students 
and also gives former Nollites home for the 


holidays an opportunity to renew and refresh 
friendships with their former school mates. 
This year, as always, Noll alumni and alumnae 
attended in large numbers. 

As the couples enjoyed dancing to the 
music of Bud Pressner and his orchestra, a 
gay and friendly holiday spirit enhanced the

HIS IS OUR STORY . . . 


This, then, is OUR STORY. It has been, and it will ever continue to be, 
pleasant to pass in review the joys, pleasures, and even the few sorrows we 
have shared with our school mates. And as we come to the conclusion of 
OUR STORY at Bishop Noll High School and to the Commencement of a 
new phase of our lives, we find that certain acknowledgements are very much 
in order. 


During the past four years our circle of acquaintances and friendships 
has vastly increased. We have formed at Bishop Noll High School friendships 
and acquaintances which we hope will not end with graduation, but will 
deepen with the passing of the years. For these we are very grateful. 

To the classes who will succeed us, we offer our hopes for a bright future 
and we shall remember them always as an important part of OUR STORY. 

To the Faculty and to our parents we offer boundless gratitude, for it 
is through their efforts, interest, and sacrifices in our behalf that we now 
stand as ... .
